The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 692 Chapter 691
The sun was setting, the twilight was falling, and the sky and the earth were in a hazy state. When night fell, Zhang Ren had already quietly brought his army to the vicinity of Luocheng, only ten miles away from Luocheng.

Near the official road, ten miles southwest of Luocheng, is a huge village called Shilipu. On both sides of the official road, there are shops built by nearby villagers for one or two miles. There are wine shops, tea shops, inns, medicine shops, and clothing shops. , blacksmith shop, etc., as long as you can see it in a big city, there are all here, and there is even a horse market that specializes in selling horses. At first glance, it seems like entering a small town.

This is the only place where Luocheng leads to Chengdu. As the largest city in Yizhou, Chengdu City has very developed commerce, and Chengdu City is also the origin of Shu brocade. The end of the trade, where you can purchase unique specialties in the Southwest, with a wide variety of products. In addition, Yizhou is relatively stable and has not been affected by the war. Therefore, its commercial prosperity once surpassed that of the major cities in the Central Plains. City.

However, although the commerce in Chengdu is developed, the rent of shops is too high, and it is difficult for those who are not wealthy to enjoy themselves in the city, and its commerce also radiates to the surrounding counties, so some businessmen who are not so rich can only stay away.

The difficult road to Shu is an objective factor of Shu, and affected by the terrain, all merchants who enter Shu, no matter where they come from, will gather on the road of Luocheng if they want to take the fastest and shortcut route. .However, Luocheng is an important military town, and it is not allowed to establish any shops related to commerce. I don’t know who initiated the initiative first, and re-selected a location for building shops, which happened to be stuck on the road from Luocheng to Chengdu. On the only way, and not affected by the city, relying on official roads, a belt-shaped business circle has been established.This is the origin of Shilipu.

However, the current Shilipu is already empty. As early as a few days ago, Zhang Fei led his army to occupy Luocheng and threatened to go west to Chengdu. An unprecedented sense of crisis, I am afraid that this place will become a place for fighting.Therefore, in just a few days, the merchants in Shilipu moved out one after another to avoid the impending disaster. Except for the houses that cannot be taken away, as long as they can be taken away, all of them are taken away. A ten-mile shop like an empty city was left behind.

Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses are now stationed in Shilipu, only ten miles away from Luocheng. Fortunately, Zhang Ren's army does not have to set up camp here, because Shilipu has provided them with the necessary accommodation conditions, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. People live here.

The army was temporarily stationed, so Zhang Ren sent scouts to Luocheng to investigate, and he himself once again summoned his subordinate generals to encourage them before the battle, hoping that they would be able to fight the enemy bravely, and promised them that after victory, , everyone will be rewarded, and will also be promoted to rank.

In addition, Zhang Ren also offered a reward of a thousand gold for Zhang Fei's head.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and many soldiers are all gearing up, waiting for the coming of the war.

After night fell, the scouts sent by Zhang Ren had returned and reported to Zhang Ren the news they had inquired again. Everything was as Zhang Ren had imagined at the beginning, which also filled Zhang Ren's heart with the desire for victory.

After another hour, Zhang Ren ordered the whole army to set off, and led the army from Shilipu to Luocheng.

When Zhang Renbing approached the city, he did not take action immediately, but hibernated quietly, because he and Leng Bao agreed to act at midnight tonight.

The city wall of Luocheng was brightly lit, and the patrol team walked up and down on the city wall. Under the dense array of knives and guns, the defense was extremely strict.

However, at this moment, in the government office hall in Luocheng City, Zhang Fei and others are actively arranging defenses and cooperating with each other, striving to completely defeat Zhang Ren tonight.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the soldiers of the two armies inside and outside the city were gearing up and fully prepared for battle.

However, everything was running normally, and even the city walls of Luocheng changed their garrison twice in a flash. Soon, at midnight, a group of black people suddenly surged up on the walls of Luocheng. Shadow, each of them strangled their necks from behind the guards, but seeing the glaring knife slash on their necks, the guards all fell down one after another.

When the guards on the tower were completely eliminated, a man in iron armor and an iron helmet came up, it was Leng Bao.

But I saw that Leng Bao was holding a lantern, and holding a baffle in the other hand, and then he sometimes separated the lantern, and sometimes let it go, and was making three long and two short signals to the outside.

Zhang Ren, who was hiding outside the city of Luocheng, had been watching every move on the city of Luocheng. When he saw the city wall of Luocheng, Leng Bao issued the signal of "three longs and two shorts", he couldn't sit still any longer and stood up straight. Got up, and immediately ordered to his subordinates: "The whole army goes out!"

Following Zhang Ren's order, tens of thousands of soldiers ambushing outside the city stood up one after another. In the grass, woods, and ravines, soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Ren were everywhere. They hid here for a long time, and finally Waiting for the most exciting moment.

At the same time, Leng Bao had already descended from the city wall, and the suspension bridge of Luocheng was slowly lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened. Leng Bao was riding a fine horse, holding a spear, and carrying two hundred Several subordinates were waiting at the gate of the city, and kept waving to the outside of the city, gesturing them to go in.

Zhang Ren turned over and jumped on the back of the horse, put on an iron spear, and led [-] cavalry, bearing the brunt, and arrived at the gate of Luocheng as quickly as possible.

Seeing Zhang Ren coming, Leng Bao hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Governor, all the soldiers in the city are sleeping soundly. Zhang Fei, Fazheng and others are all in the government office. The general is willing to ask to be the vanguard and go to the government office to kill Zhang Fei, Fazheng and others, present their heads to the governor!"

Zhang Yi said excitedly: "Captain Leng, you've done a good job, but it's not easy for Dudu Leng to do these things himself. Dudu Leng has worked hard enough, and I will leave the rest to the Governor!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ren moved his long spear forward, and rushed into the city with five hundred cavalry behind him, and then Zhang Xing and others rushed into the city with a large number of soldiers. Here, the soldiers are all scrambling to be the first, and that scene is really a spectacular one.

However, no one noticed that there was a weird smile on Leng Bao's face.

Zhang Yima took the lead and led the cavalry to the Luocheng mansion. He thought there would be a massacre, but what he didn't expect was that the whole mansion was empty, not to mention Zhang Fei, and he didn't even see a single person. .

Immediately, Zhang Ren had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly ordered: "No, we have fallen for the trap, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, and leave the city quickly!"

However, as soon as Zhang Ren's voice fell, flames lit up outside the mansion. Zhang Fei led his subordinates holding torches, and instead surrounded Zhang Ren in the mansion. The fire was lit, and the soldiers who had already prepared suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Sichuan army rushing into the city. The streets and alleys in the city were full of people, with arrows raining down, knives and guns everywhere, and the sound of killing everywhere.

At the same time, Leng Bao at the gate of the city suddenly launched an attack, and started killing the Sichuan army, and closed the city gate tightly. The Sichuan army, which had just entered the city with only more than 5000 people, was attacked by the enemy in the city. The sound is one after another.

The tens of thousands of Sichuan troops who were rejected from the city gate hadn't reacted yet, and there were shouts of killing from behind, and so many people who came out of nowhere, all rushed over in one go, one or two like The tiger went down the mountain and launched a fierce attack on the Sichuan army.

In the Sichuan army, there were 2 subordinates of Zhuo Ying and Fei Guan. At this time, Wu Yi led Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Zhang Yi, Zhuo Ying, and Fei Guan to cover up and kill them outside. Constantly recruiting the old troops, the old troops were summoned, and turned against each other one after another, causing chaos inside the Sichuan army, cooperating with Wu Yi and others who were besieging outside, and killing the Sichuan army brought by Zhang Ren without leaving any.

The whole city of Luo was immersed in the sound of shouts and killings. The Sichuan army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and the screams were endless.

Zhang Ren, who was in Luocheng Mansion Yamen, tried to charge several times with 200 cavalry, but was blocked by the army led by Zhang Fei, and more than [-] cavalry were lost.

Zhang Ren was very annoyed at this time, but he never expected that Leng Bao would dare to betray him, so that he was on the brink of failure.

Although Zhang Ren was full of hatred in his heart, he had no way to vent it. Even though he was smart all his life, it was a pity that he was confused for a while, which led to this defeat.

Half an hour later, the shouts of killing inside and outside Luo City gradually weakened a lot, and Zhang Ren and others in the government office were almost exhausted, Zhang Ren himself was injured in many places, and the people around him who could fight, There are only more than 100 people, and there are only a dozen horses. They are dead or injured, and they have completely fallen into the situation of fighting alone.

Zhang Fei held the Zhangba Snake Spear, and kept guarding outside the government office, commanding the soldiers to firmly guard the gate of the government office. When all the ministries ended the battle and reported to him, Zhang Fei also felt that it was time to close the net. , So he rode his horse forward, gathered a hundred followers who followed him, and decided to launch an active attack on Fu Yali in order to end the battle.

"Kill!"

Following Zhang Fei's inspiring shout, Zhang Fei took the lead and galloped out, holding a zhangba snake spear, and rushed towards the government office. Wherever he passed, he stabbed to death several cavalry who came to resist, Pointing at Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren was not afraid when he saw Zhang Fei coming to kill him. He cheered up and greeted him with his gun.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Zhang Fei directly shot Zhang Ren's long spear into the air. When the two horses met, Zhang Fei stretched out his long arms, hugged Zhang Ren by the waist, and captured him alive.

At the same time, a hundred followers behind Zhang Fei also rushed over and started a scuffle with Zhang Ren's subordinates. However, the strength of the two armies was too different, and Zhang Fei's troops were almost effortless. Zhang Ren's subordinates were wiped out.

Zhang Fei reined in his horse and threw Zhang Ren, who had been captured alive, onto the ground. Immediately, infantry rushed over and surrounded Zhang Ren with their spears, but Zhang Fei shouted loudly, "Tie him up!"
